July goals

On this, my first official day of summer (for me), I thought it good to set myself a few goals for the month of July. They are not onerous at all, but it gives me a bit of a focus. July is always my unwind month. August 1 comes and it feels like 'holy crap summer's almost over'

Here goes:

  • Walk 31 miles this month. I don't care if I have to do it in stints around the block where the neighbours start to question my sanity, or in stints on the dreaded treadmill, it will happen.
  • Lose 6 lbs this month (and keep it off)
  • Bake 4 times (on the cooler/rainier days)
  • Try 2 new recipes
  • Snowflake $150 (recycling, change, money left from jars)
  • Read 4 books just for ME
  • Read 5 books for school ( There are so many new books at the middle years level so it helps to have read as many as I can so I can suggest good books for the kids)
  • Continue to drink a ton of water and eat what I can to improve my health
I will make this into another page at the top and will update on Sundays.

Good for you for setting some goals.i love the walk one in miles instead of number of walks. This is a great idea, that way you can do a little if it hurts, or more if you have the energy.

I should be joining you in walking but I am just feeling so tired right now.
As you head towards Winter we head towards Summer can't wait maybe I will walk then....
